Did They Do It On Purpose? New Southpark Episode Triggers Amazon Alexa and Google Home Devices

The episode, titled “White People Renovating Houses,” apparently drove Amazon Alexa and Google Home totally nuts, leaving many wondering if creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker did it on purpose. The likely answer given their history of tackling contemporary issues is ‘yes.’

“We have an Amazon Alexa and a Google Home and South Park repeatedly screwed with both of them tonight,” noted one Twitter user…

Alexa and Google Home users deserve everything they get from South Park.

It’s beyond me how anyone with an IQ over room temperature, Celsius, can even stand to watch this mindless nonsense in the first place. It is, by far, the dumbest show ever produced.

One must have an IQ even lower if they choose to have Google Home or Alexa.

Apparently, a number of low IQs own one or both and watch the show, so, yeah.

I haven’t watched it in a long time, but I was actually entertained by it because it was so stupid. But I do agree with you.

I’ve never sen it….

I tried – once- based on the recommendation of people I know.

It made my head hurt, trying to force my IQ down to that level. I quickly gave up, and never tried again. It’s almost as painful as hearing the moron in the car in the next lane playing Rap brain poison at a stop light.

they used to have to get a warrant to ‘bug’ your house, now people PAY for the privilege !! /facepalm

Either that or federal agents would sneak into your home or office and hide bugs somewhere inside.
Apparently all they had to do was put a price tag on them and advertise it as the next great thing, and suddenly people can’t get them fast enough. And it’s not just Google and Alexa, but any internet or cellular capable device is able to be used as a virtual peep hole into your private life.
People used to be so resistant to anything that would invade their privacy. But now everyone is so addicted to it that when you take it away, they become overwhelmed by anxiety.
